Verse
D MajorD G+G
Well I said goodbye to Rosie Rooke this morning,
A augmentedA D MajorD
I'm gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes,
D MajorD G+G
She wore her Sunday hat so she'd impress me,
A augmentedA D MajorD
I'm gonna carry her memory 'til the day I die.
D MajorD G+G
They'll move me up to Muswell Hill tomorrow,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Photographs and souvenirs are all I've got,
D MajorD G+G
They're gonna try and make me change my way of living,
A augmentedA D MajorD
But they'll never make me something that I'm not.
D MajorD G+G
Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy,
A augmentedA D MajorD
but my heart lies in old West Virginia,
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Never seen New Orleans, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Still I dream of the Black Hills that I ain't never seen.
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD D (2X)
VERSE
E MajorE A augmentedA
They're putting us in identical little boxes,
BB E MajorE
No character just uniformity,
E MajorE A augmentedA
They're trying to build a computerised community,
BB E MajorE
But they'll never make a zombie out of me.
E MajorE A augmentedA
They'll try and make me study elocution,
BB E MajorE
Because they say my accent isn't right,
E MajorE A augmentedA
They can clear the slums as part of their solution,
BB E MajorE
But they're never gonna kill my cockney pride.
E MajorE A augmentedA
Cos I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy,
BB E MajorE
But my heart lies in Old West Virginia,
E MajorE
Though my hills they're not green,
A augmentedA BB
I've seen them in my dreams,
BB
Take me back to those Black Hills,
E MajorE
That I have never seen.

Well I'm a Muswell Hillbilly boy,

But my heart lies in Old West Virginia,

Take me back to those Black Hills,

That I have never seen.
